Cotti For A Cause: Supporting the Bridgewater Food Pantry
As we step into the new year, we are honored to announce the Bridgewater Food Pantry as January’s Cotti For A Cause recipient! This incredible organization, located in the Central Square Congregational Church, serves approximately 140 Bridgewater families every month, providing them with much-needed groceries and support.
The pantry ensures that every resident has access to food, regardless of religious affiliation. Patrons are invited to select their own groceries with the assistance of caring volunteers, and for those unable to visit in person, delivery services are available.

Walk To End Alzheimer’s – Cotti For A Cause – October 2024
Cotti For A Cause: Supporting the Fight Against Alzheimer’s
For October, we are honored to support the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s,” a cause that is deeply personal to one of our own, Mel. Mel’s father sadly passed away from this devastating disease last year, and her mother is currently battling it.
In Mel’s own words:
“Thank you to Cotti-Johnson for donating to our Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This disease took my Dad from us last year, and now my mom is fighting it. Cotti has been a second family to me, and I can’t express how much I appreciate your constant support and generosity.”
Alzheimer’s is a heartbreaking disease that affects not only those diagnosed but their entire families. We are proud to stand alongside Mel and her family as they continue their brave fight and raise awareness and funds to find a cure.
Let’s show our support for Mel, her family, and all those affected by Alzheimer’s by contributing and spreading awareness. Together, we can make a difference. #CottiJohnson
